What a gem Bonnie is. You are absolutely right, she is on another level.
I have always rated Bonnie Raitt as both being a great vocalist and a fine slide player ... she consistently nails her performances .
***I Met Bonnie in 1974 when she came to visit Lowell George of LITTLE FEAT, at Blue Seas recording studio in Hunt Valley Maryland, my home town*** ... Little Feat was cutting the album "FEATS DON'T FAIL ME NOW", my older brother was one of the engineers or electrical techs and I got to hang out, listen to and watch this album being made almost every night until the wee hours in the morning! .... Bonnie walked in one evening and I fell instantly in love, she smelled soooo good, I had no idea who she was! .... I was only 14 or 15 at the time, anyway, got to meet her and flirt like a dumb kid..... I got to work for in later years a time or two, she remembered the meeting in 1974, very nice lady..... The music world is very small in America! .... On a side note: The BLUE SEAS recording studio was owned by the great songwriting bass player of the band THE LOVIN SPOONFUL, Mr. Steve Boone..... That's how I got started being a roadie for the stars and later a professional personal bodyguard for all the great celebs and not so great celebs. ..... It helps to know people
Mr. Roach I’ll bet you have some great stories!
@@wtglb I envy you big time! Loved Lowell and the feat! And love Bonnie as well!
For all her career, Bonnie has had first rate slide technique and a voice with no peers. It's a combo that has you fall in love with her and whatever she's playing/singing.
Bonnie is a tough lady. She went on tour with James Taylor last year had to leave to have surgery then came back to finish the tour in February.
She still sounds as good as the first time I heard her. Actually, I think she sounds even more seasoned! Thanks for doing a Bonnie video!
Well, d’uh... unless the first time you heard her was last week, of course she sounds more seasoned :)
She’s my hero. Age is just a number babies...she’s been killing the slide for decades. Her guitar player is excellent too, his work on her cover of Gerry rafferty’s Right Down the Line is wonderful. Ooh her band!
👍
She covered Right Down The Line? I gotta hear that!
That's a cool song.
Leon Russell would be an interesting case to study.
He's smooth! ☺
@@alanna8983 I vote for Leon as well !
"Heroine"
Love this woman! Been a fan since the 70s. I've seen her live 5 times!! She kicks azz on guitar. So underrated it drives me crazy. When she finally won a few grammy's I went crazy. 😁
For those not aware, she’s playing Need You Tonight by INXS. It’s a mid tempo rock / funk tune, but Bonnie slows it down nicely, putting it into a real funky blues. Always love her singing.
Bonnie has been at that level for decades.
When I was younger, I couldn't appreciate Bonnie Raitt. Probably because I was neck deep into Motorhead's '1916', plus some other scintillating sounds that ran across the same lines.
But now I listen to Miss Bonnie play, and I know in my heart and soul, there is something beyond this life. Plus she has that whole ginger, Vampira thing happening, but that's a story for another day and time. My favorite clip of Miss Bonnie features her and Mavis Staples doing a cover of Dylan's, 'Well, Well, Well'...powerful medicine, I s**t you not.
Bonnie Raitt has been a fantastic guitarist and artist for years. I love her and her music. Great review, Fil.
While this style of music is what Bonnie seems to like best, I've always enjoyed her occasional ballad. She actually has a very sweet voice.
Bonnie just won another Grammy last night for "Song of the Year"(at age 73). One of three she won that evening.
She deserves them, thanks for the information.
Great Bonnie Raitt performance. She's had so many good groove songs going way back, and still she's got it! Nice analysis and appreciation, Fil!
Bonnie is one of those rare folks who is loved by everybody--I've never heard of a bad word said against her, ever. She forged her way as a woman in the boys club of blues guitarists, earning their respect...not an easy thing back then. AND she's an activist for human rights and enviormental issues, donating her time & talents
I remember Bonnie in the 90s. Me and my wife were young then. Now she is gone since Jan 3. I miss her so much.
I'm sorry to hear that.
My condolences,DaeHawk.....
sorry to hear that
So sorry for your loss, man. Take care.
Daehawk I’m so sorry for your loss 😔
I just love Bonnie Raitt !!
BONNIE !
Thanks for that one. I can still recall her playing 'Pride & Joy', when she called the late SRV 'Her little lover boy'.
Cheers, J.
SRV was the one who got Bonnie Raitt into rehab. She always attributes her sobriety to him.
@@dee_dee_place Thanks, didn't know of that. :)
Bonnie Raitt meets INXS is a combo I didn't realize I needed until now! Awesome video!
The lady's just a powerhouse.....lovin her work for decades......doubt scarcely a week has gone by that I haven't played something by her......still kickin myself for missing this tour.....one of those acts that just screams and exudes quality......stage presence and performance is always dream like.
Saw Bonnie on the pier in NYC in 1980 before anyone really knew who she was. Great player, songwriter and pioneer. I was glad when she won all those Grammys for " Nick of time" definitely paid her dues.
She started rocking it in the late sixties and into the seventies. Sorry you missed it!
"1980 before anyone really knew who she was" 😂
Have always loved her, she's amazing.
I had the pleasure of seeing Bonnie and James Taylor last summer. Fantastic show! Angel from Montgomery was the highlight. 15,000 people in dead silence wanting to hear every note and listen to her heart poor out on that song. Gives you goose bumps.
Cool!
Bonnie is AWSOME!! You need to do a video of her cover of “Burning Down the House”!
That’s CRAZY! Crazy good! I never would have thought of covering that song. I like the song, like INXS. Never would have thought of covering it. I guess that’s what makes Bonnie Raitt a star. Thank You for bringing us this unexpected treasure, Dear Fil! ❤️
No problem!
I've seen Bonnie live a few times; blown away every time. She's one of those few musicians you recognize right away, and always has a tight touring band😎
If you just heard the opening note, you'd know it was Bonnie's slide. Something about her tone, and her mastery of that subtle vibrato that makes her sound unmistakable. Plus the fact that she's comfortable just hanging on that note, then allowing the faint second, higher note to fade in.
LOVE YOUR EXPLANATION OF WHAT IS HAPPENING. ABSOLUTELY LOVE BONNIE. SHE REALLY MADE THE SONG HER OWN
Gotta love Bonnie!! That Telecaster player sounds real nice laying down the groove
Bonnie Raitt is her own sound!!
He's amazing - one of the best rhythm guitarists I've heard. I'm a HUGE Bonnie Raitt fan, but what a band this is!
Bonnie brings it!! Brilliant. Well done Fil.
She has definitely still got it and surrounded herself with some great musicians, I thought it was a fantastic cover and she really made it her own.
She is the coolest woman!
Her father was a great singer. Broadway and film legend. She may not be super well known, but every musician worth their salt admires her talent. Been a fan for a long time.
Bonnie was making great albums all through the 1970's and I'm sorry to say I didn't discover them until just until just recently. She has a huge back catalog that's worth checking out.
Michael Hutchence is smiling in heaven. 🤗
her father was John Raitt a famous Broadway actor/ singer; Carousel etc. She went delta blues and learned from some of the greats. Great guitar work.
Finally a Bonnie Raitt reaction!
Bonnie is just great. I'm 68 and it seems like she has always been there!
I've loved this song from the first hearing. Excellent cover. Bonnie's always amazing however this groove delivers. All amazing musicians. Thank you Fil for analyzing this performance.
That's my girl, one of the artists that has been an influence in my music! Bonnie Raitt, Give it Up and Takin my Time are albums I listen to on a regular basis. I'm so glad to see her, she can play!!!
I've never heard this version before... Was a bit doubtful at first. But no longer! Excellent version! Thanks again Fil! 🤘🤘🤘
Great voice on the guitar and vocals. Really sweet fusion of talent.
When I was 15, my sister brought home the album Sweet Forgiveness. I wore that album out! and I think a few copies after it. :) Every song is fantastic- her version of Del Shannon's "Runaway" but the title song is a religious experience with the funky guitar. Love ya Bonnie from way back in 1977.
She was great live when I was twenty plus, and she is just as good now. Rock on!
Hi Fil, I think I told you in a note that my good High School friend had left town with Johnny Winter back in the early 70s to play drums for him. Years later he called me to come to a Bonnie Raitt show in New Jersey. He was her stage manager at that point. We had dinner with Bonnie, Jackson Brown and Bruce Hornsby. It was an amazing evening and great seats for the show. She had two tour buses, one was a workout gym. The other musicians and stage crew shared two other tour buses, like 14 guys bunking it together. Ah, the good old days. LOL Great video.
I've been in love with Bonnie from the first cut I heard in 73.
I have listened to and loved Bonnie since the late 70s or early 80s. I hope she knows how many people she has touched with her music.
My fave since the 70s
Bonnie is wonderful. I've seen her live twice. Besides her guitar playing, her genuine warm personality shows throughout the concerts. You'd enjoy looking into Carolyn Wonderland. Wonderful blues guitarist
She’s one of the best. I hadn’t seen this, so thank you.
She's so slick, cool, laid back, bluesy and soulful.
Your reviews are so technically orchestrated..........Feels like somebody reading a book to me where all the characters are on a wild adventure, eventually satisfying all concerned. Have seen Bonnie twice now in my later years most recently and she definitely satisfies!
i saw a television special👉🏾 in the nineties, designed to explain to Americans, that Blues and Southern music, was related, appreciated, and basically connected.
it was true, it was cool, and idk much about Southern music, but she was on that show, playing those southern blues!❤️
Watching this now, 3 days after Bonnie's surprise (but well deserved) Song of the Year win at the 2023 Grammy Awards.
Thanx Fil. BR is the 'female John Fogerty' with that raspy voice! Appreciate all your videos
Great analogy.
She is a lot like Fogerty.
Thanks!
I have seen her in concerts many times and never get tired of seeing her live and playing her heart out! I sure hope she comes to a venue close enough for me to go to soon!
Thanks Fil!!...Bonnie is one of my absolute favorite artists!! Oh yes everything she does is top-level! I love her raw gritty bluesy voice! One of my favorite tracks of hers is I Can't Make You Love Me... it is so painfully beautiful😢❤...✌❤🤘
Great analysis Fil... Bonnie is one of my favorite artists 🎶👏
Always has been an amazing slide player.
The minute she sings that first note you know you’re in for a treat. Remarkable singer songwriter and brilliant guitarist
I only liked it because your smile reminds me of my 2nd born. You/my son’s smile goes up to your eyes. I see that in his children, my 3 grandbabies. ☺️
Fil does have a great smile and really nice teeth which sometimes British people do not have.
I got a good introduction to the playing, singing, and beauty of Bonnie back in 1972 when she opened for Neil Young and Crazy Horse. WOW!!!
Bonnie Raitt is one of the best interpreters and arrangers of other songwriters that there is. Over the years she’s has covered the Buffalo Springfield, Jackson Browne, John Prine, John Hiatt, and many others. Her renditions always manage to be at least as compelling as the originals.
Bonnie is a master of slide, tone and soulful vocals! She was opening for one of her big influences, Mississippi Fred McDowell in the early 70's, one hell of an education -;0)
Love your reaction. Bonnie Raitt is amazing.
Mike Finnigan on keyboards played with Hendrix.
HI FIL.SHE STILL HAS THAT GOOD VOICE AND GOOD GUITAR PLAYING.GOOD SHOW .VERY INTERESTING. THANKS. STAY SAFE OUT THERE.PEACE AND LOVE
I'm just a couple years younger than Bonnie. I fell in love with Bonnie the first time I saw her play. She was gorgeous and was so damned good. I was an instant fan for life. Fil, I hope you review more of Bonnie. She is an Icon of Blues, Country and Rock music. She's received awards in all three. Check out Bonnie with Lyle Lovett at the CMT crossroads. Epic!
I ♥️ Bonnie & her soulful delivery
Yes, more Bonnie & Winwood.Rock🎸🎸🎸🎸🎸
love the appreciation and enthusiasm you bring to bear on high end music like this
Brilliant. She is just fantastic. What a band.
I remember an old interview where she was saying that Lowell George of Little Feat showed her how to link up 2 compressors on different settings to get that infinite sustain (as long as you kept the slide moving). She did backup vocals on Little Feat's earlier albums. Her sound and vibrato are very similar to his. I don't see too many Lowell George slide solos on TH-cam, but there's one on "Little Feat - Cold Cold Cold - Holland" near the end, and up to that point in the song you can see the similarities between them. There's also an audio only version of the same song with Raitt on lead vocals. Also "Apolitical Blues - Little Feat and Mick Taylor - Extended Version".
Thanks!
Yeah..It's Bonnie! Classic..LOVE her
Hey Fil, great to see Bonnie featured. This lady has got staying power as well as a great voice and excellent chops. Thanks!
Love your comments about getting the groove and knowing your stuff, your chops. To make it sound so easy to be so good. Getting that groove makes me think of Phil Collins drumming in his prime. People hear him but miss his groove because he makes it sound so natural, so groovy but makes is so easy. Will look for some more of your Bonnie videos.
She sounds so good! BTW BBC won't let us see video. Thanks for this! Bonnie does it all, writes, sings, plays. Listen to The Blender Blues for a giggle!
Love this lady's style of singing...
Bonnie was playing acoustic in the 60s, she played great acoustic slide in the 60s too. Her first record was in the 60s, I loved her first album.Jim
I love it too! She is absoloutely fantastic! I used to see her and Little Feat for about $3.00...those were the days!
if Bonnie was playing in the 60's, she has to be pretty old.
She was enamoured with Lowell George of Little Feat at one time. Love "Willin'"
She's 69, she was a kid in the 60's and so was I😊...we were all were enamored with Lowell George!!
Sorry,I was wrong, it was in the 70s that she put out her first records.There was an early one I really likedJim
...My last video of the wee hours of the night -- when I saw Bonnie Raitt, I couldn't resist! Bonnie, never disappoints -- she put her own honey haired soul on INXS' classic and made it all her own! That's another trait of greatness, capturing one's own artistry, in the vehicle if another -- love it!
Thanks for another wonderful analysis video, Fil -- my new "Midnight Special", never disappoints! From Harlem, New York -- rock! Goodnight/Day!✌🏼💖🎶🎵
Love Bonnie ever since I saw her and Emmylou Harris with the legendary most underrated and overlooked band ever, Little Feat with the amazing Lowell George.
Michael Moore , the back cover of Emmylou's LP Elite Hotel is Emmy in a Little Feat sweater, Bonnie and Emmy sang on a Linda Ronstadt tribute album in recent years, back when Emmylou was touring with Gram Parsons they got invited back to Neil Youngs hotel , think it was in Houston , Neil had Linda Ronstadt and Jackson Browne on his show, Emmy and Linda sat in a corner singing songs they both knew, Neil says hey listen to that, Emmylou could harmonise with a barking dog, she is possibly one of the most collaborated with ever
@@robertsmyth4998 No doubt. Emmy's "guesting" appearances read like a Who's Who of legends in music...and not specific to genre either, she does it all. I like that her career has come full circle to the point now people want to be *her* guest.
Little Feat was amazing!
Emmylou and Linda made a great album, Trio (and a follow-up) with Dolly Parton. Some beautiful old-timey songs, harmonies and three of my favorite voices!
I have always loved Bonnie. I have seen her many times. She is always great
Fell in love with her LP Sweet Forgiveness when I was a teen, every single song on the LP was amazing, and saw her in concert several times in the 80s.
Michael Finnigan on the organ. He started off with Dave Mason in the early years. Then picked up by Crosby, Stills, and Nash. Super vocals as well. Has his own blues band at present.
Caught Bonnie opening for Neil and Crazy Horse in 1974!!!
As I recall, he also played on Hendrix Electric Ladyland!
@@vandalnonesuch8274 Been a long time since I have seen the cover of Electric Ladyland. I did a Google and pulled up the Wiki. Not only was Finnagan a player but, Al Kopper, Stere Windwood, Dave Mason, Buddy Miles, Jack Cassidy, and more top of the crop artist.
This is what I was waiting for. I love Bonnie Raitt. She has been a consummate artist. I love her bluesy guitar and her singing. Just a treasure in our musical landscape. Thank you my dear Fil, for giving us this wonderful analysis of her music. She had a wonderful time actually meeting the great Blues Players while she was learning her craft. I am looking forward to seeing you show her journey, or whatever you show will be first rate I know. :)
Bonnie is amazing, an absolute favorite of mine. And she’s my age too which explains why it feels like I’ve been enjoying her music ‘forever’.
Fantastic Analysis my friend. You so nailed it!
Fil Another Great 👍🏻 performance by Bonnie and all Group! Another Fascinating Analysis! You are Amazing 😉 ear and eye to speak so Eloquently about them!!!
Bonnie Raith a class act, just a one off, super slide player , voice af an angel so much soul . she has done ,seen played it all .
Bonnie used to hang out on the West Bank of Minneapolis many years ago. She was playing all those dives with us while she was making her first album.. one of the (I believe uncredited) producers of that first album was Willie Murphy of the Angel Headed Hipsters. She used to drink at Palmers bar and the Viking as well as the Five Corners Saloon whose small stage had been graced with the performances of a young Bob Dylan when he first moved to Minneapolis from his hometown in northern Minnesota a couple of years before he moved to New York to seek fortune and fame. Bonnie’s Minneapolis contemporaries at that time we’re Spider John Koerner, Dave Ray, Tony Glover, Peter Lang and of course the aforementioned Willie Murphy who still plays regular gigs locally.
Great post. Minneapolis has an unsung music history.
Cool!
This was the first concert I took my oldest daughter to... In Nashville 💓😂
Yes you should "revisit" Bonnie in the future. She has absolutely always rocked it!
Omg, I can't believe I didn't know she did an INXS song!!! I love her and them, so it's heaven. I really like her version
Great how she totally made the song her own. Neat performance. Haven't seen Bonnie in a long time.
Lov'n it seriously...love...ing...it. Her interpretation us outstanding...Abd I recognized loooong ago her greatness and beauty on multiple levels... musicly in terms of tha sensual slide, I absolutely love... her beautiful voice, and het ability to use both to an eximeplery level one that only exceptional true artists possess.
You really brought it with this reaction, Fil.
*Hello , Fil :) Oh.. She's Really Cool And What Amazing "INXS" Tribute Alive !!!
°Thanks & Rock !!! X3
Spot on as always, Fil! Bonnie's playing is so laid back and understated in this track, and she's not afraid to lay out and let the band shine. Such a pro. When you get back to Bonnie, I wanna hear about her Runaway!
All I can say is SWEET!!!
👍
Bonnie does that every time. She's not a big arena artist, intimate rooms work best for her and her to die for voice and slide. Bonnie is intimate!.
Thanks Clint, I have seen her live. Thanks for your info.Jim
her voice is in perfect tune with her slide....blends seamlessly just beautiful
